Comment on Ex Google engineer claims she was harassed and “Google did nothing about it”parent

Yes you do.

This point has come up on HN so many times that anyone continuing to repeat it is at best willfully ignorant, but probably deceitful.

A simple websearch [boilermaker women] shows you're wrong with plenty of sites calling for more female boilermalers.

You hear a lot less about calls for more males into nursing or primary teaching (lower paid generally than male dominated professions, like engineering).

False.

You hear a lot less anout it because you don't read any nursing or teaching magazines or blogs or message boards.

This is now a great dogwhistle -- anyone saying things similar is clearly dishonest.

I hear a lot less of it, not only on HN but on general newspapers and sources that are not focused on tech. Does that make the point more valid to you?

Maybe they do now after it was pointed out. Take the bottom 20 positions from that list and see how many of them feminists talk about. It's pretty much non existent.
